I Can Break a Person

I can break a person

I can break a person. 
I can tell you what’s inside. 

Inside the person is a small child,
They look very sad and have clearly cried.

Inside the person the child is trapped,
They look very much like they can’t decide.

Inside the person the child is scarred,
They have brutal bruises and blood on both sides.

Inside the person the child is young,
They are confused and traumatised like being on the worlds scariest rides. 

Inside the person is fear.

Fear is all we are.
